All,

Blue71 was going to post this on his website, but I don't have that address to share.

This is the measurements that were collected between his rigs and mine.

I hope that I haven't stepped on any toes by sharing this!

I don't think my can of wd40 is in the right place ;D

That pic is probably one of the best informational pieces that's been done in a while. Thank-you.

How you gonna step on any toes ? You are posting useful information that is needed by many. If you ever do decide to step on some toes, post your weight first and sound the steel toe boot alarm :)

Mnky,

I am glad you posted it for me. All....This is for the drivers side door only.
I am working on a passenger side gragh now. I am just a little slow. Hope that thing helps though. I am gonna try and put together a tech article on these measurements and go over it with Jon and see if he'll let it go in the Tech Section.

Allen,

For a fee, I can measure exactly where the Can needs to go. This is National Security here man, we can't just give that stuff away!!!!!

Ok silliness aside!

I am happy that my efforts at my rebuild can help, and always credit and kudos to the two that helped me!!!!

Thanks Blue71 and 2Badrotties!!!!!!

Ok, who wants my soapbox!

thanks guys, great work. it just shows that the bronco is no where near exact. you know ford didn't get these things perfect and only sell them for 5k top of the line.
please do post your r/s when you get it up. great file to have saved.
thanks
nick

I used this sheet for the driver's side and it was a HUGE help. I'm getting ready to do my passenger side over the next couple weeks (floorpan, kickpanel, inner/outter rocker and doorpost). Wouldn't the measurements be basically the same?

Some of the measurements will most likely be the same, but others such as the letter "J" in the photo above will be different, because the pass. side where the seat is, doesn't come out as far as the drivers side. The door opening width will still remain 39". Again...like was stated above, these are measuremens off of good tubs and still vary a bit from Bronco to Bronco. They varied from the factory, and over 30 years of age so they are close reference. I haven't done any measuring on a 66 or a 67 to see if there are any differneces in the reference points since the latching points differ a little on those two years. I used my 71,74,and the two '77's. I'll tru\y and put some more together. Glad to be of help.
;) Jon...thanks and I'll try to get something in for a tech article. Your probably still waiting on the Ranger , Sport ,Explorer tech article that I was supposed to get to you months ago. Oops! I'll work on that one too! ;D ;D ;D
